Any tips on how to improve on this before interview season? I figured so much depends on on your looks nowadays so I figured it would be to my advantage to get better looking. Thoughts?

how about some self confidence?
 
Are you white? If so, you have nothing to fear.

Plastic surgery

At interviews, you can expand on your ugly looks and extensive plastic surgery as an 'obstacle that you overcame in life.' Instant acceptance.
 
Self confidence is definetly something you will need! If you get a good looking suit or a professional dress then this will definetly help.
Presentation is huge part not looks. As long as you present yourself in a professional manner then I do not think the interviewers will think twice.
They are judging your compatibility to become a doctor not a model!
Go in there and kill it. Good luck.

I also want to meet my husband in med school - there are a lot of great girls in med school and I need to stand out from the crowd if I'm going to meet my perfect match! I wish society didn't place such an emphasis on looks

I am also kinda young looking OP, I don't think it has hindered me during interviews. It will probably suck though when we are actually in the hospital, and the patient wants to know why a teenager is interviewing him 😀
 
At least you look young for your age 😕

Makeup, curling iron, hairspray, pointy high heels (biggest confidence booster ever in my book), spray tan, falsies if needed, more hairspray, dark red lipstick (not bright red), well fitting suit...and voila! +5 years.

This is really good advice; I've been there too. OP,If you're gonna date, at least make it someone not in your class.

You can always stop by a local bar if your plan doesn't work out.

Good ol' MelissaThompson... Unfortunately, she's not having much luck with Nebraska, but all the best to her. I hope she'll find a suitable man sometime soon. :xf:
 
Awww sweetie... ( Assuming you are not a troll...)

First, I doubt it is as bad as you're making it sound. Very few people are perfect 10's so unless you are anorexic/morbidly obese and your face has been messed up from being a meth/crack addict, you must have redeeming features. Work on and with those.

First, make sure your app is the best it can be. It carries more weight in terms of admissions than anything else would or should.

Second, dress appropriately. Go to a high end store and consult with a personal shopper if necessary. Also, schedule a consult with one of the make up counters and get a consult on what kind of make up best accentuates your good features. Check your hair cut. Make sure it is flattering to your face and colouring and body size. If not, again, get a consult and get it done right.

That is for the external stuff. Now inside that noggin of yours, what makes you think so poorly of yourself? Look into that. Resolve that. Keep in mind that EVERYBODY has insecurities about themselves. How you deal with them is what makes the difference. Feel free to PM me if you wanna talk.

:luck:

It was a joke that a friend of mine cracked--that foreign kids (I.e. not white) were not considered traditionally cute.

Sure you can. Even an ugly sister can be made pretty with expensive clothes and plastic surgery.

Diffidence is but the product of ones thoughts.

Disagree, I love foreign women. They're exotic and hot. 😎

Haha do you know what falsies are?

:laugh: I know now after lapresse pointed out... I was thinking something else like a bra insert or something. So I guess I completely agree with you 😛

I swear to God, I know people, La Presse. They use baseball bats with spikes.
 
OP starts a thread about how she thinks she's ugly and has low self esteem. SDN proceeds to make fun of OP. 👍

EDIT: that's a sarcastic thumb
